I was just wondering if anyone thinks that Bungie should update Halo 1 with Xbox Live? Don't get me wrong I like Halo 2 on live but from time to time I like going back to the original Halo. The only problem is that I have no one to play with and not many people host Halo 1 LAN parties. I think if bungie went back and made matchmaking playlists for Halo 1 it would be a big hit for both the 360 and original Xbox. It anyone has any thoughs on this or agrees or disagrees with me please post your opinion.

i dont know if this kind of thing is possible because in order to do that they would have to go and reado the entire game because of the code or somthing like that. although i wish they would update Halo combat evolved for xbox 360 with awesome graphics and xbox live, that would be awesome.

If you want online halo check out http://www.xbconnect.com/ it tryed it and its free and it works pretty well. only downside is you have to join games from your computer.

also dont forget, if you cant stand the lag, you can host a room instead of joining one, then you wouldn't have to make so many trips back and forth from the computer (i actually dont have the problem, because my TV is right next to my PC :-p)

bungie has said themeselves on a couple other posts with the same topic, they couldn't make a patch for halo 1 to make in online playable. they would have to recode, and therefore repackage and resell the game. i think in many ways it wouldn't make much sense for bungie to do so. halo was a fantastic game, and we still play it at our lan parties, but i think putting it on live would just ruin the experience.

. I don't think Bungie would have to redu the entire game. Just the multiplayer. The maps and everything wouldn't change. The only thing that would change would be that their would be an xbox live option and playlists and everything. It should be set up a lot like Halo 2 just with the Halo 1 settings. Please post your opinion

From what i've heard from moderators and some other individuals, they would have to redo the physics system...So halo 1 just wouldn't be the same game at all....It would feel completely different, almost more like halo 2. I don't know about some of you, but I wouldn't give that up just to have it playable for XBL.
I say we all just stick to XBC, personally, I like it much more than XBL.

anyone even read my post. they would have to completely recode the game, that includes several different changes, making it all around impractical.
